I think you misunderstand, I'm not talking about the history of free
software, I'm talking about the best way to get someone using and
understanding the advantages of free software when they aren't open to
the usual arguments. Sometimes the only way to get someone interested
in the moral issues of software is to show them the technical
advantages, so that they start using and liking free software first.
